Trouble

The female staff member on the left still looked somewhat puzzled and disdainful.

Three little children actually wanted to buy a house. Although the two girls looked wealthy, the boy looked rather shabby. Even his clothes had patches.

"Excuse me, are you buying, or are the adults in your families buying?" The female staff member on the left adopted a chilly tone as she questioned Zhu Zhuqing and the other two.

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, took out a large bag, and handed it to her, gesturing for the staff member to take a look.

The woman reached out in confusion. Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing let go, and the large bag dropped. Startled, the woman tried to catch it with both hands.

So heavy! That was her thought at that moment.

Clink, clink, clatter-

The bag was too heavy, and the female staff member fumbled the catch. It fell open, spilling Gold Soul Coins all over the ground. The entrance to the Real Estate Exchange instantly became a sea of glittering gold.

Under the neon lights, the Gold Soul Coins gleamed dazzlingly. Their golden radiance lit up this stretch of the street, drawing quite a few people nearby over to watch.

"Whoa, so many Gold Soul Coins!" someone exclaimed.

The crowd grew larger and larger, people jostling together on both sides. Several men harboring ill intentions squeezed through the crowd, hoping to sneak over and snatch the Gold Soul Coins.

Countless strands of blue silver grass appeared, however. As though possessing awareness of their own, they immediately separated the crowd from the Real Estate Exchange.

"A Soul Master!" someone exclaimed.

"Ah-let go! It hurts like hell!" Several people screamed. They were precisely the men who had tried to snatch the Gold Soul Coins, and they were now bound by the blue silver grass.

A Yellow Soul Ring revolved continuously around Tang San, making the street even brighter. A sprig of blue silver grass pulsed in his right hand.

"Ugh, rotten luck. Come on, hurry up and leave before we get beaten up." Quite a few people had the sense to leave. Most were ordinary people who had merely come to watch the commotion.

"Sorry, sorry-"

By now, both female staff members had dropped to their knees. They had never imagined that this most unremarkable-looking boy was actually a Soul Master, and one with the optimal Soul Ring at that. Someone like him was absolutely not to be offended.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was hostile as she addressed the two women in an icy voice. "Remember this next time. Don't look down on people through a dog's eyes. Go get your boss!"

"What happened?" A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out from inside, disturbed by the noise outside.

He began frowning the moment he emerged. The scene before him left him baffled.

Gold Soul Coins littered the ground, and his two staff members were kowtowing incessantly. Two beautiful little girls stood at the entrance, along with a One-Ring Soul Master whose martial soul was blue silver grass.

"What exactly happened? Someone explain!" The man with gold-rimmed glasses straightened his suit jacket.

The two beautiful little girls had caught his fancy today, and little schemes were already brewing in his mind.

"Boss!" The two female attendants began pouring out their grievances.

After listening to his two subordinates' account, the man with gold-rimmed glasses sneered and pointed at Tang San. "You brat, you think being a Soul Master gives you the right to run wild here? Do you know whose jurisdiction this place falls under? You must make amends today. These Gold Soul Coins on the ground are confiscated. Any objections?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses then pointed at Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. "And you two. So young, yet already refusing discipline. As punishment, you'll stay at the Real Estate Exchange and clean today."

In his eyes, these two beautiful little girls were surely being kept by this petty Soul Master. Today, he would properly train them on the City Lord's behalf.

Tang San paid no heed to the man's threats. He simply used his blue silver grass to swiftly bundle up the Gold Soul Coins on the ground, then handed them to Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, revealed a peculiar smile. She looked up at the man with gold-rimmed glasses with pitiful eyes. "Mister, are you sure you want to keep us here to clean?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, the man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately swallowed hard. Young girls were his favorite, especially the cute ones. These two girls suited his tastes perfectly. Once he had enjoyed them himself, he could present them to the City Lord. Perhaps he would even receive a reward.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses cleared his throat, then answered with a solemn expression. "Ahem, yes. Not just today. You'll be cleaning here from now on."

"Look how tiny I am. Mister, could you really bear to make me clean? How about giving us some other work?" Xiao Wu blushed and rose onto her tiptoes. She looked just like an adorable little rabbit, the rabbit-ear ornament on her head bobbing constantly.

Zhu Zhuqing already knew what Xiao Wu intended to do. She, too, put on a fragile air and gazed at the man with gold-rimmed glasses with captivating eyes. "Mister, how about letting us sisters be your secretaries?" she asked softly.

"Secretaries-" The man with gold-rimmed glasses was instantly so delighted that he lost all sense of north, south, east, and west. He began grinning foolishly, a famous saying running through his mind.

Tang San withdrew his martial soul and stood watchfully at the entrance, guarding against any suspicious people who might appear on the street. His Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was poised to erupt into motion.

He was not worried about Xiao Wu or Zhu Zhuqing in the slightest. The man with gold-rimmed glasses behind him showed not the slightest fluctuation of soul power. Most likely, he was merely one of the City Lord's lackeys.

Whenever Xiao Wu wore that expression, Tang San knew someone was about to suffer. In their usual duels, he was often no match for her, even when using his martial soul. Only by employing Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand did he have a chance of defeating Xiao Wu at the same level.

Sure enough, a sound came from behind him.

"Ah-" The two girls had beaten up the man with gold-rimmed glasses.

By now, the man's glasses had flown who knew where. He was nearsighted to begin with, and the two girls before him now looked like more than a dozen.

"You-you're dead today!" he roared.

At his shout, more than a dozen fierce-looking men in work clothes rushed out of the Real Estate Exchange. They carried iron rods and were clearly not people to provoke. Their leader was actually a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

One white and one yellow-those two Soul Rings were dazzling!

This Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster was ugly, with a long knife scar crossing the bridge of his nose. At that moment, he wore a disgusting grin as he stared at a certain part of Zhu Zhuqing's body.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses had retrieved his glasses. Trembling, he shouted at Zhu Zhuqing and her companions, "Beat them! Capture the girls and drive the boy away!"

After saying this, the man with gold-rimmed glasses turned and approached the Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster with a fawning expression. "Scar Brother, please go easy on them. I still want to present those two little girls to the eldest young master."

The Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster burst into laughter. His yellow teeth looked as though they had not been brushed in years, with bits of vegetable leaves stuck all over them. He grinned viciously. "Hahaha, don't worry. I know how to handle things. Cripple the boy and take the girls!"

The two Soul Rings kept lighting up around him as he roared, "Get them, boys! We're having extra dishes tonight!"
